Abstract

High calcium fly ash geopolymer composite was prepared by incorporating short carbon fiber in the geopolymer matrix. The carbon fiber (CF) content was varied from 0 to 1%, the liquid to ash ratio was controlled at 0.5. The workability, mechanical and electrical properties of the geopolymer composites were examined. The result showed that the incorporation of 0.5%CF and above resulted in the ductile failure of specimen. The increasing CF content also resulted in decreasing workability and mechanical strength. The electrical resistivity was also reduced and was more stable to the curing age and temperature. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) curve of 60°C curing provided less peaks than that of 25°C.
